More People Need to see This

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2005)

I don't truly understand why the fans of action movies are not filling the theaters to see The Island. It stars two of the better actors/actresses of our time in Ewan Mcgregor and Scarlette Johanssen and gives us an amount of action that can make most fans smile. At the same time the story line is actively involving yet not complicated in any sense of the imagination. Michael Bay finally came through in his greatest movie to date yet this movie only pulled in 12 million dollars on it's opening weekend. It is a disgrace to see such movies as Wedding Crashers outperform the Island this past weekend. That tells me that people are more interested in watching two horny full grown men invade a wedding to get some over a movie where there is a great story with depth involved.
I would talk about the movie and some of the amazing sequences but to do that would ruin the movie for many viewers. Just know that the movie is set in the future and the technological advancements the movie shows us are outstanding. The special effects are top of the line as most Michael Bay movies seem to be. It seems to me that The Island is either going to completely bomb at the box office (which it shouldn't) or will become a hit because of word of mouth.
What will surprise most people if they take the time to see this movie is it does not completely revolve around gigantic explosions or sex. Instead this movie focuses on the life of two people and their fight for survival in a world that we would not even be able to comprehend if we had to experience it ourselves. All I am saying is look at the bulk of the reviews for this movie. Most people have given it a rating of seven or higher meaning it is a very good movie to say the very least. If you spend eighteen dollars to see this movie with your significant other you will not feel like you were cheated out of your money. Instead when you leave you will wonder what it would be like to live in a world that these two people have to experience.
